They Didn’t Mean To
They didn’t mean to,
they didn’t mean to,
they didn’t mean to,
I know,
I know,
I know,
however, my mind still goes blank,
the tears still threaten to fall,
my heart still breaks,
They didn’t mean to,
they didn’t mean to,
I know,
I know,
yet, I still find myself crunched up, crying on the bathroom floor,
I still find myself replaying what happened like a movie scene,
They didn’t mean to,
I know,
though I still find myself questioning my worth,
They didn’t mean to,
they didn’t mean to,
they didn’t mean to,
I know,
I know,
I know,
however, my mind still goes blank,
the tears still threaten to fall,
my heart still breaks.
